Today I have invited 3 of my Mum's sisters and their husbands for lunch, I am making scones and club sandwiches....

ABOVE: have you seen club sandwiches made in the Tupperware Jelly Mould Ring? Well if ya haven't... I will show you later on how they come out!

So... apart from entertaining my mother and her family... I'm keeping busy doing housework, kids, sewing... all the usual stuff... EXCEPT blogging! I miss reading what's going on with my fellow bloggers! But, until my Mother leaves on Wednesday I'm forced to blog on the 'sly'....So hang in there cos I will be back soon to normal transmissions! lol

ONWARD...

Steve just weighed himself... in the 6 weeks he's been living back home he's put ON 8 kilos! And sadly he didn't get them from me...

Had a really busy morning making club sandwiches, getting the house all nice and tidy... just relaxing for an hour now until our visitors arrive for lunch.

Shissssh...don't tell anyone... but I'm sitting in me bathroom blogging, reading emails, etc.... so me Mum can't see me! She's gas-bagging with her 3 sisters in the family room while the three husbands (my Uncles) yak in the lounge!

Lunch was a great sucess, everyone loved the club sandwiches and hot scones, jam and cream.

ONWARD..... must go again or they will wonder what the hell is 'wrong' with me... needing to stay in the bathroom so long! hee hee

TRACY: lol, you would be RIGHT! At least no one is rude enough to actually come into my bathroom!

Club Sandwich instructions tomorrow.

End of Day: YES, I know it's early but I'm hot, cross and feeling really tired. I've been cooking, feeding and entertaining all day and I've had enough. Getting dinner for the family nearly made me scream... I'm that hot and crabby.DIET: can't eat much when you are the bloody cook for everyone eh?nite nite.

Nothing like mom's cooking to fill the boy up lol! I'm sure Steve wasn't cooking like that when he was living away. How's the job hunt going for him? Is it about impossible to get a job over there like it is over here now?

ME AND STEW

Both struggling to lose weight and be healthier. Parents of 6 adult 'kids' and 13 Grandkids. We have raised two of those grandkids since their births and they are now 16 and 17. December 2017: We have been caring for their 5 year old sister for over a year as well, but at the end of 2017 she will be moving to her new permanent home with our son Steve, and his wife Bex.

WHERE I LIVE:

New Zealand, it's in the South Pacific... and it's NOT a part of Australia! We are home of the All Blacks rugby team, the Kiwi (bird, but can't fly) and lots of bloody neat people!
